We always feel good after these podcast episodes. We think it's because we talk more real stuff. More truth. More love. This episode is delicious. Yes, it's about Buddha's Birthday and religion but mostly it is about love. Love is everything. Life is love. Love is life.  We're so grateful you choose to listen to the Get Merry show. We're eternally grateful for everything we have... and in fact everything we do not have. Oh life. Thanks to YOU for being part of the Merry ride. Stuff we talked about... The magical Buddha book story. Yes, it has something to do with Buddha's Birthday. the First Truth is that all life is suffering, pain, and misery. Woah. Yep, we chat about suffering. we get onto the topic of religion... oooo yeh.  love. It's all love. so much goodness.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This podcast is brought to you by Bean Ninjas. If you have a biz or side hustle check them out!  Far out this episode is craycray, maybe we are just being more us, speaking our truth. Who knows but we had a lot of fun and we reckon you will too! If you need some inspiration (aka a friendly kick up the butt) to work on stuff you love... LISTEN!  A couple things inspired this epic Get Merry chat. Carla is reading a life changing book at the moment (she won't stop banging on about it). She also reacted badly to an issue, so this got us chatting about the importance of our reactions. Yoga and Pilates came up because both practises made huge positive impact to our lives. Tune in, let us know what you think! Send us a topic idea or an issue you'd like our advice/perspective on.  Sending SO MUCH LOVE out to you all. We see you, amazing YOU.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

How often do you worry about what others think about you? Does it stop you from doing stuff? Does it impact your behaviour? Does it stop you living your truth? Does it stop you living your life?  What about when people actually start talking about you? What the heck do you do in these situations? How can you move through this in an easier way? During this Get Merry podcast we discuss this topic. We also give some pretty good tips too.  Tune in, then let us know what you think! Send us a message on social media, share your biggest takeaway.  Stuff we talked about... when we worry about what others think of us it's actually self-judgement. It's all made up in our own heads... whatever we are worried about other people thinking, we are actually thinking. So what is the real issue? when people say stuff about others it is only but a projection of their own inner world.   whatever people say about you... it's none of your business.  so much more.... and of course we have our own aha moments.  If you loved this e

We've never really sat down and had a discussion about our values. So this episode is super SUPER real! All our episodes are REAL but usually, they're born from a coffee date chat and one of us will say "this is a podcast episode idea!" then we discuss again in an episode. In this #GetMerry podcast episode we literally sat down and Carla said "shall we talk about our values" and boom we hit record.  We believe it is extremely important to know what our core values are because once we know, we can align ourselves with people, jobs and decisions that match up with our values. This creates more flow, more magic, it creates steadiness and a sense of ease.  Example... if health is a core value do not work at a fast food place. If you do you'll feel a sense of anger while you are working there. You will feel a sense of dis-ease. You will feel yuck.  Stuff we talked about... we actually go through some of our core values: health, honesty, kindness, loyalty, enthusiasm, connections.  why connecting with people with

Ok, we were kinda crazy in this episode. Must have been the high of our epic MerryBody launch. We chat about perfectionism and why the goal of perfection is holding you back. In big big big ways.  It's a whole heap of fun, tune in! If you know anyone suffering from the perfection disease, send this episode to them!  Stuff we talked about... why is everyone obsessed with being perfect? how we've pretty much never waited till we're 'ready' and 'perfect' before starting a project. perfect is actually fake... it's made up!  how perfectionism is just self-doubt and fear of what others think of you.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A must listen if you're a yo-yo dieter or calorie counter. We know you're over it. We've been wanting to tell this story for a while, so Emma decided to interview Carla and really find out HOW she lost 8 kilos from bringing yoga and pilates into her life. And how this was the beginning of MerryBody themerrymakersisters.com/merry-body She talks about how she used to think she HAD to diet or eat a certain way and exercise a certain amount of hours per week in order to be 'healthy'. She talks about how she lost alot of weight once before in a very different way and compares the two and why it's about finding a way of LIFE not a quick overnight fix.       See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
